Trivia[]
- The re-releases of Yummy Yummy and Sailing Around the World kept the HIT Entertainment logo at the end for unknown reasons.
- All the re-releases came out a year after Greg Page left with Orthostatic Intolerance.
- This is the first American distributor to have the trailers reused from Australia, instead of having trailers exclusive to America like the previous two distributors, Lyrick Studios, and HIT Entertainment.
- Dance Party is the only release to never be re-released by this American distributor.
- Getting Strong and most of the re-releases with Greg Page used the same previews.
- With the exception for Space Dancing which featured the preview for Whoo Hoo! Wiggly Gremlins!.
- The Wiggles Present Dorothy The Dinosaur was the last Warner Home Video DVD to have previews at the beginning.
- Warner Home Video released certain releases of The Wiggles Movie, although it was produced by 20th Century Studios (currently owned by Disney). The Wiggles had apparently planned a second feature film with New Line Cinema (owned by Warner Bros.) which was cancelled.[1]
- Their re-releases of Wiggly Safari, Whoo Hoo! Wiggly Gremlins!, and Wiggly, Wiggly World are the only ones that do not resemble the Australian cover counterparts.
